I read it this week, very quick read!

I liked it SO much better than "The One and Only." Much more in line with her earlier work, imo.

It's not my favorite of all of her books, but it was definitely a good read. But I love books about family dynamics, particularly sisters. I think some of the secondary plotlines/characters could have been fleshed out a bit more... would have liked a slightly longer book with more resolution on some issues. But I was satisfied at the end, and would recommend it.

I finished it in 2 days and really liked it. I also hated "The One and Only" but I thought "Love Comes First" is more in line with her other books. For me her best one is still Something Borrowed though.

I agree with all of this. The one and only was horrific to me and I could barely get through it. I hated it and would not recommend ever. So I was very pleased her next book was much better. Liked the Ellen & Andy connection/update.

Just finished the new one and didn't love it. While it was good and couldn't put it down I just didn't love it like I loved something borrowed and something blue. Those two were my favorite! The one and only I put down, hated it!!!
